How to retrieve JSON data in controller in ASP.net MVC?

Question

I have created a button and added a jquery click event to that as below.

$("#saveMe").click(function ()
{

        var car = { name: 'intro to asp.net', price:5200};
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "/Book/saveData",
            data: car,
            datatype: "html",
            success: function (data) {
                alert("successfully saved in DB");
            }
        });

});

I need to access these JSON data in controller action. I need to to get the value for name and price separately.And also i need to assign the name value for name attribute in book model and price value for price attribute in book mode. My controller action is like below.

public ActionResult saveData()
        {    
            String name =  //assign json data.name.
            double price= //assign json.data.price
            book.name=name // **Is this a correct way to assign values to the mode?**

        }

I am a beginner in asp.net and I really can't solve this problem.Please help me. Thank you.

Answer 1

Add the parameters to your method so its

public ActionResult saveData(string name, decimal price)
{
  ...
}

or create a model (say class Book ) with 2 properties ( string name and decimal price ) so the model is bound with the values

public ActionResult saveData(Book model)

Answer 2

It should be:

[HttpPost]
public JsonResult saveData(string name, double price) { ...
